Getting things done
We want to make sure all repairs are done in a reasonable time but we know that some repairs are more urgent than others. To be fair to all our tenants we put our repairs into three categories.
Emergency Repairs
These need doing as quickly as possible because there is a risk to your health, safety or security. It could be a complete lack of service from an electricity or water supply, burst water pipes/tanks, severe roof leak, imminent danger of a part of the building collapsing, serious electrical faults or a need to secure the home.
We aim to carry out emergency repairs within twenty four hours.
Urgent Repairs
These need doing reasonably quickly because you are suffering inconvenience or if they are not carried out they may cause more damage to the structure, fixtures and service of your home. This may include the breakdown of your central heating system, minor plumbing leak, leaking toilet, broken locks, broken sockets and switches, loss of hot water or defective drains.
We aim to carry out urgent repairs in five working days.
Routine Repairs
These are not as important and can wait for a little while as they don’t cause serious inconvenience. These include minor roof leaks, broken gutters and flashings, repairs needed to the floor, doors and windows; repairs to handrails or stairs; isolated plumbing leaks; leaking radiators or plaster defects.
We aim to carry out routine repairs within twenty working days.
Getting things right
We check as many repairs as possible to make sure they are carried out properly. Please contact us here if:
- The people who carried out the repair were impolite or inconsiderate
- If you had agreed an appointment which they failed to keep
- You are not satisfied with the repair
- A repair seems to be taking too long to complete
- The same problem happens again
